426 trans lives were taken from around the world.

113 of those trans lives were taken in the United States.

14 of those trans lives were taken in the western United States.

And of those trans lives, 2 were killed here in our city of Las Vegas.

Sasha Williams was a 36 year old trans woman of color. She grew up in North Carolina with her father and her aunts. At the age of 16, Sasha came out as a trans woman. Although her father took years to accept this, he and Sasha eventually grew close. Sasha dreamed of graduating from the Las Vegas ballroom scene to performing on the Las Vegas Strip. Her friends found her to be “something different, something special” as a makeup artist and designer of her own clothes. Sasha is remembered by her loved ones for having a “heart of gold”.

We light a candle for Sasha Williams.

Jazlynn Johnson was an 18 year old trans woman. She was dedicated to excelling in school and worked hard to follow her love of makeup with a career in cosmetology. She was known to her friends and family for her kindness and an easy-going nature, along with her fondness for Hello Kitty. She was excited to start a new phase in her life and was determined to make it the way she wanted.

We light a candle for Jazlynn Johnson
